Big Game Season Began Aug 15th in Montana
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks


Posted on: 08/18/08 [Comments?]

Fall hunting officially got underway Friday with opening of archery antelope season in many Montana hunting districts.

Sportsmen are reminded that, to hunt antelope with a bow and arrow in a special August archery season, they need to have drawn a special 900-series tag and bought a bow-and-arrow license. Archery licenses are available at all license dealers and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks offices. To purchase an archery license, hunters must show that they either have held a bow and arrow license in the past or passed a bow-hunter education class before Aug. 1.

People caught hunting without the proper licenses and tags may be cited into court, where they could be fined or jailed and lose their hunting privileges.

Antelope archery season for people without 900-series tags, as well as those hunting for deer and elk with a bow and arrow, opens Sept. 6.

All hunting regulations and lists of season opening and closing dates are available at license dealers and FWP offices and online at http://fwp.mt.gov.

Saskatchewan Bear Hunt
Well, my 16 year old son Connor is showing me up again. This is the chocolate bear he took on 5-19-08, two hours into the first day of the hunt. The bear was just over 5 foot and the weight was 170+. Two hours after he took his bear, a large black came in and attacked his bear that was on the ground 10 yards from his stand then went on to the bait. He has photos and video of the action, but the best thing is that I took that same black bear two days later. The black was over 6 foot and the weight was 250+.
